Star Wars and Avatar movies delayed

The pandemic has delayed basically everything.  Variety reported today Disney is delaying the release for the next Star Wars trilogy and Avatar sequels. This comes with a nationwide surge in new COVID-19 cases and several movie theater companies delaying their reopening plans.

December 22nd, 2023 is when we can expect the next yet-to-be-titled Star Wars, with the next two films also being delayed a year to December 19th, 2025 and the third hitting December 17th 2027. That is not just ‘a galaxy far, far away’ that’s a time frame that feels like a century from now with the way the world feels right now.  This would put a four-year break between Star Wars films.

Avatar’s two sequels have been in the works for a long time, but now it looks the wait will be even longer. Now, Avatar 2 will hit theaters on December 16th, 2022, with three more sequels due out December 20th, 2024; December 18th, 2026; and December 22nd, 2028.

The blockbuster movie business moves have been coming at a fast and rapid pace with Beyond the Trailer digging into all of the changed release dates in this video. How is the ‘New Mutants’ movie that has been stuck in studio holdups since 2016 is still coming out this summer?

TRAPT only sells 600 of latest album after talking major trash

After a long time of talking major garbage online TRAPT’s newest album ‘Shadow Work’ only sold 600 copies in the first week.

Floating movie theater coming to Chicago

Drive-in theaters have seen a revival with their natural ability to offer social distancing in our current pandemic circumstances, but now a new way to watch a movie with friends will become available. Beyond Cinema is an Australian company that before the pandemic successfully hosted floating theaters with boats. Now those sanitized boats will come to the United States. Each screening will have 12 to 24 boats according to Consequence of Sound. 

You can sign up here to find out when tickets go on sale for the Chicago screenings from September 9th to the 13th. It’s worth noting that no specific movie titles have been announced yet but the website does say it will be “a mix of golden oldies and new releases”.  No specific local body of water has currently been designated to host the screenings.

You still have some great options for drive-in movie theaters around Chicago too. Here is a refresher on that experience from Chicago’s Best.

One man, Taylor Hancock, asked not what White Claw could do for him during quarantine, but what he could do for White Claw (and his dog.)

He also happened to have a bunch of glue on hand.  Introducing: S.S Clawdia and her captain, Captain WhitePaw.

Man saws neighbors garage in half over boundary dispute

This guy was very friendly with the man who built a garage that reached over onto his property, unfortunately he was not friendly with the family that he left behind after his neighbor died.

So in the most petty move of all time. He sawed the garage in half, because he legally could!

This is the most extra thing someone could do!

And we are all about it!

When did he start singing and stop rapping?

Zack Snyder talks the ‘Justice League’ Synder Cut

Zack Synder left the much-maligned “Justice League’ film in 2017 before it could be completed due to a family issue. Some fans of the DC Cinematic Universe claim the superhero team-up did not show off Synder’s grand vision for Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and more. ‘Avengers’ director Joss Whedon took over the project with reshoots but the theatrical release left fans feeling underserved.

Then a few months ago we learned the fan movement to get the ‘Synder Cut’ released by Warner Bros Studios had become successful and an expanded version of the film will come out next year on HBO Max. Beyond the Trailer got a must-see interview out this week for hero movie fans where Synder talks about why the story matters, how he is approaching the hype around the film, and much more.
